" This is an uncommon bird ; in its manners it somewhat ap- 
proaches the Ortliotomi and Priniw. I have seen it in the Carnatic, 
near Trichinopoly, also near Jaulnah, and in other parts of the table- 
land. It frequents high grain fields, to the stalks of which it clings, 
and, on being observed, conceals itself among them. At Jaulnah, I 
have seen it in my garden, hunting about various low shrubs, peas, 
and beans, &c., among which, on being observed, it immediately 
withdrew, most carefully hiding itself, and being with difficulty 
driven from its place of refuge. I occasionally heard it utter a harsh 
clucking note. I found its food, in two instances, to consist of 
small grasshoppers and ants." — (Jerdon.)
